Magnum Opus: The Making of Busta Rhymes' "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See" (Video)

BusaBus

Busta Rhymes' hit making ability is undeniable. He's been doing it for twenty years now. From his early days with Leaders Of The New School and solo debut with "Woo Hah! Got You All In Check" to his recent hit "Thank You" alongside Q-Tip, Bus a Bus has classics.

The one that sent him astronomically is the classic cut "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See". And who could forget the amazing Coming To America themed video? Complex's latest installment of Magnum Opus explores the making of this groundbreaking record with input from the song's producer Shamello, along with other comments from Talib Kweli, Jarobi, Elektra Records A&R Dante Ross and a host of others.

Watch the short feature on it below. Also, check the classic video too.

Follow Friday - The Doppelgangaz & Timeless Truth

DPGZ


TT

Instead of spending money I shouldn't be on Black Friday (I just did), I thought a "Follow Friday" segment was in order. The groups that I've decided to feature are two that I've been following for a few years now. Both make back to basics Hip Hop and is exactly what people are crying out for these days. Or so they say...

I won't give you bios for them. You can discover that yourself. All I'm doing is shedding some light and hopefully putting some great music your way. To those already listening, kudos. To those this is new to, hope you enjoy as much as I do. Check out The Doppelgangaz and Timeless Truth.

Kanye West Interview on Sway In The Morning (Video)

Kansway

You may or may not of heard about Kanye West going ballistic on air yesterday. Yeezy appeared on Shade45's "Sway In The Morning" and gave a really entertaining interview. Despite the fact his was a little disrespectful to host Sway Calloway during the interview, for the most part you can see that Kanye is a passionate and charismatic person.

Check the whole interview below but if you're more interested in seeing Ye going basura, skip to 17 minutes in.
